Really cool - definitely helped me make the decision to purchase the MB for wifey. Really nice deal - hope they repeat it this year!

What's up dude! Are you going this year? I just signed up for the Graduate program in Homestead, but they told me they were all booked. So i'm on the waiting list, i sure hope a couple of people drop out.

You don't need a code. Just click on the text that says no code--and you are on the registration page.

I signed up and added my son as the guest, so I paid for two. Can't wait to meet you So Cal AMGers out there. Hope the weather cools down.

I signed up a while ago but never got anything in the mail or anything.
Did any of you get any sort of verification?
Do we just show up then I guess? I don't even have the Fontana Address

Am I going to be embarassed? Are you guys bringing fire proof racing shoes, suits, gloves, helmets, etc.

I'm just a down to earth guy without all that stuff (maybe sunglasses).

I understand that the track gives us a helmet.
